Green infrastructure refers to a strategically planned network of natural and semi-natural spaces—such as parks, green corridors, urban trees, rivers, wetlands, or gardens—designed to provide multiple ecosystem services. In the urban context, this network contributes to improving environmental quality, strengthening climate resilience, supporting biodiversity, and promoting human well-being.

Plant intelligence proposes that plants possess complex capacities for perception, communication, and adaptation to their environment, despite lacking a central nervous system. Through chemical and physiological networks, plants are able to respond to environmental stimuli, cooperate with other organisms, and optimize their survival. This perspective has contributed to rethinking the understanding of ecosystems and their role in urban systems.
